Getting started with Sway is easy—sign up using your Microsoft account and begin designing. You can create a Sway from scratch or convert a Word document, PowerPoint presentation, or PDF to Sway. If you’re not sure where to begin, view sample Sways to discover how they were designed and use these for inspiration or as a template for your own Sways.

Creating a Sway Account

Creating an account on Sway is a simple, straightforward process. All you need is a Microsoft account and access to the Internet through your computer or iOS mobile device.

You can quickly create a free account on Sway (https://sway.com). When you create your account, you open a blank Sway canvas at the same time.

Sway Versus Sway

Remember that both the application and the content you create with it are called Sway. You use Sway to create a Sway.

Navigate to https://sway.com in your browser, and then click the Get Started button.

Sway requires a free Microsoft account to access. If you have an existing account with another Microsoft application, such as Windows 10, Windows 8, Office 365, Skype, Outlook.com, Xbox Live, or Hotmail, you already have an account. In addition, you can use an email address you have linked to your Microsoft account, such as a Gmail address. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up for one at http://www.microsoft.com/account.
